How to pay with Aeropay in store

1
Ask for Aeropay at the register.

Your budtender brings up a QR code on the counter screen, prints it on your receipt, or texts you a link. Whichever is easiest for you.

2
Scan and sign in.

First time? Enter your name, email and mobile number, type in the code we text you, then pick your bank and log in on your bank’s own screen. It takes about a minute.

3
Approve the amount.

Check the total on your phone and tap Authorize Payment. The register updates by itself and you’re on your way.

Next time it’s just scan, sign in and approve. There’s no app to download: Aeropay works in your phone’s browser.

Paying when you order ahead

Ordering pickup from your store’s online menu? Choose Aeropay at checkout, link your bank the same way, and approve the payment there. Then just bring your ID when you pick up.

Is it safe to link my bank?

Paying by bank is new for a lot of people, so here’s exactly what happens with your information.

● Your bank password stays with your bank. You log in on your bank’s own screen through a secure connection (OAuth, the same standard banks use for trusted apps). Aeropay never sees or stores your username or password, and neither do we.
● You approve every payment. Each purchase shows the exact amount and waits for your tap, after a code sent to your phone. Nothing moves until you approve it.
● Audited security. Aeropay uses bank-level encryption, follows the national NACHA rules for bank payments, and goes through independent SOC 2 Type II security audits.
● Your data isn’t sold. Aeropay uses your information to run payments, prevent fraud and meet legal requirements, and says it does not sell personal data.
● Federal protections still apply. A payment from your checking account is an electronic transfer covered by federal Regulation E. If you ever see a charge you didn’t make, tell your bank right away.
● Extra locks if you want them. You can turn on Face ID or Touch ID and two-factor authentication for your Aeropay account.

What does it cost?

Aeropay doesn’t charge shoppers anything. HDR adds a processing fee of 2.5% plus 25¢ per payment, so a $50 order costs $1.50 to pay by bank. On any order under $110, that’s less than the $3.00 debit card fee.

Do Aeropay purchases earn Gold Rush Rewards?

Yes. Aeropay purchases earn Gold Rush nuggets just like any other payment. Give your budtender your phone number before you pay.

Can I use Aeropay for Santa Fe delivery?

Yes. Our Santa Fe delivery drivers take Aeropay or a debit card when your order arrives. You approve the exact total on your phone.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Aeropay runs in your phone’s web browser. You scan the code or tap the link, and follow the prompts.

Which banks work with Aeropay?

More than 12,000 U.S. banks and credit unions, including the ones most New Mexicans use. You need a checking account in your own name. Savings accounts and app-based accounts like Chime, PayPal and Green Dot generally aren’t supported.

What if I change my mind before approving?

Nothing is taken until you tap Authorize Payment. A payment request you don’t approve expires on its own after 72 hours.

How do refunds work?

If a refund is approved, we send it back through Aeropay to the bank account you paid with. It shows in your Aeropay activity and posts once your bank processes it.

Who do I contact about my Aeropay account?

For anything about a purchase, talk to the HDR store where you shopped. For help with your Aeropay login or linked bank, email Aeropay Support at support@aeropay.com.

Ready to try it?
